The wind caresses my hair with its loving fingers,
And I enjoy every refreshing moment, while it
lingers.
I listen to the waves creating beautiful melodies,
They make my ears dance,
There has never been a sound so pretty.
I breathe and sniff up to smell the beautiful
salty goodness of the sea,
A smell so good, it delights me.
I observe a seagull looking for food,
And to my delight, it's in a good mood.
It caws at me
"I won't be long!"
Now the sweet aroma of candyfloss fills the air,
I buy some and savor those sweet days of childhood,
Taking me back to a time when I could be a child,
without having to care.
As I head home, I feel refreshed and happy,
And I remind myself to always make sure,
each day to take time to savor a breath of fresh air.

The seagull in a good mood? I love that you added him in. What a magical piece. Love the rhyme scheme, especially in the first half; just beautiful to read.
This is wonderful. We have to stop and smell the roses sometimes. You just got a new subscriber.
